Take That, Katy Perry and others will take the stage in Windsor last night for a musical extravaganza following the King’s coronation on Saturday.
The King, Queen and Royal Family joined about 20,000 members of the public at the musical extravaganza.
Heir to the throne William took the stage to deliver a speech during the event, with Kensington Palace sharing behind-the-scenes footage of the Prince during rehearsals.
Earlier in the day, Sophie and her husband Duke of Edinburgh, 59, attended a Big Lunch event in Cranleigh, Surrey.
Their visit came after the Duke and Duchess made a royal appearance at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Meanwhile, Lady Louise, 19, who is a university student at St Andrew’s, stole the show in a flowing white and blue floral dress and chic headpiece.

More than 18 million people in the UK tuned in to watch the ceremony on TV, compared to 26.5 million for the late Queen’s funeral in September.
After the ceremony, the family appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with a select group of senior royals as The Mall was flooded by tens of thousands of cheering supporters.
Lady Louise and James stood beside their royal parents as they waved to crowds for an RAF flypast, which had to be reduced to just helicopters and the Red Arrows due to heavy rains in London.
Over the past two years, Lady Louise has taken on an increasingly public role as her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, have entered the royal food chain following the disgrace of Prince Andrew and the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
She took center stage at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, accompanied her parents to the Commonwealth Games and made her successful TV debut in a documentary about her beloved grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace yesterday issued the first public statement on behalf of Charles and Camilla since they were crowned.
A spokesman for the palace said the King and Queen were “deeply grateful” to everyone involved in organizing the celebrations and ceremony, and to the spectators who attended the day.
‘Their Majesties were deeply moved by yesterday’s events and deeply grateful to both all those who helped make it such a glorious event – and to the very many who turned out to show their support in such numbers in London and beyond ‘. he said.
